Steffi was introduced to tennis by her father Peter Graf, a car and insurance salesman and aspiring tennis coach, who taught his three-year-old daughter how to swing a wooden racket in the family's living room. She began practicing on a court at the age of four and played in her first tournament at five. She soon began winning junior tournaments with regularity, and in 1982 she won the European Championships 12s and 18s.

Evert's total of 157 tournaments beats Graf's by 50 and she didn't have a much longer career, which just goes to show her consistancy. She won at least 1 Grand Slam in 13 straight years, compared to 10 for Graf. She does challenge Graf as far as consistancy is concerned, but that's about it.
